The Chugach, Wrangell, and St. Elias mountain ranges converge here in what is often called "the mountain kingdom of North America." This largest unit of the national park system, a mere day's drive east of Anchorage, includes the continent's largest assemblage of glaciers and the greatest collection of peaks above 16,000 feet. There are remote valleys, wild rivers, scarce-visited mountains, and a great variety of wildlife including wolves, bald and golden eagles, and grizzly bears.

Mount St. Elias, at 18,008 feet, is the second-highest peak in the Saint Elias Range; Canada's 19,550' Mount Logan is the highest mountain in the range, and is the second-highest summit in North America.

• Go mountaineering! Wrangell-St. Elias and its Canadian neighbor, Kluane National Park, were set aside to preserve the foothills, glaciers, and peaks of the Wrangell, Chugach, and St. Elias mountain ranges. This area includes many of the highest mountains and largest icefields in North America.
